Ann Coulter got the most vicious burns at Rob Lowe's roast


Conservative provocateur Ann Coulter agreed to participate in actor Rob Lowe's Comedy Central roast Saturday night to promote her new book (a campaign tract entitled, In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!). That was a bad call.
Though the other celebrity roasters took plenty of shots at Lowe himself, Coulter was the butt of many of the evening's harshest jokes. Here are a few of the milder ones:
Pete Davidson: "If you are here, Ann, who is scaring the crows away from our crops?"Peyton Manning: "I’m not the only athlete up here. As you know, earlier this year, Ann Coulter won the Kentucky Derby."Nikki Glaser: "The only person you will ever make happy is the Mexican who digs your grave."Jewel: "I do want to say as a feminist that I can’t support everything that’s been said tonight. But as someone who hates Ann Coulter, I'm delighted." [All via Variety]
You can read some of the more NSFW insults here, or just wait until the roast airs on Labor Day.
